Review

Bailey Zimmerman’s sophomore album Different Night Same Rodeo, released August 8, 2025 via Warner Nashville / Elektra, shows a step forward in both scope and ambition from his debut. He doesn’t abandon what made him stand out — the grit, the raw voice, those rock-tinged country hooks — but he leans more into vulnerability, variety, and cross-genre experimentation.

Sonically, the album moves between barn-burning anthems (“Backup Plan” with Luke Combs, the driving “New to Country”) and the more introspective (“At the Same Time,” “Yours for the Breaking”). Collaborations with Diplo, The Kid LAROI, and Combs broaden the palette — sometimes giving him pop or electronic edges — and his lyrical themes dwell on heartbreak, regret, emotional addiction, and the push/pull of holding on vs letting go.

Where Different Night Same Rodeo is strongest is in its moments of authenticity. Tracks like “Chevy Silverado” (a nostalgic tribute) and “Comin’ In Cold” (vulnerability and turmoil) hit emotionally and feel like they’re coming from a real place. But the album isn’t perfect: with 18 tracks and quite a mix of styles, some of the middle drifts a bit, and a few songs feel like they exist mostly to be playlist fillers rather than standout moments.

Overall, Different Night Same Rodeo is a satisfying and ambitious sophomore effort. It delivers emotionally, shows growth and risk-taking, and while it has some rough edges, it more often than not earns its breadth. - Dani
